Extract embedded lyrics from FLAC

Read lyrics from your FLAC files

Read the LYRICS and UNSYNCEDLYRICS Vorbis comments back out of a FLAC. If the file carries a timestamped LRC, you get it verbatim — Vorbis comments store it as plain text, so nothing has to be reconstructed.

Step-by-step guide

How to use this tool

  1. 01

    Upload your FLAC

    We open the Vorbis comment block. The audio is never decoded and never written to.

  2. 02

    We read both lyric fields

    LYRICS is returned as-is — if it holds a timestamped LRC, that's what you get. UNSYNCEDLYRICS is returned as plain text.

  3. 03

    Copy or download

    Download the synced text as .lrc, the plain text as .txt, or copy either straight to the clipboard.

Key features

Why use this tool

Verbatim, not reconstructed

The MP3 side has to rebuild an LRC from SYLT sync points and round the timings. FLAC stores your LRC as text, so what comes out is character-for-character what was put in.

UTF-8 by specification

Vorbis comments have exactly one encoding, so there is no charset to guess and no Latin-1 fallback that mangles accented or non-Latin lyrics.

Read-only

Nothing is written back. Your upload is parsed and then deleted from our server.

Common use cases

Who this tool is for

Library audit

Find out which of your lossless rips already carry lyrics before you spend time or credits generating them.

Format migration

Lift lyrics out of a FLAC library into sidecar .lrc files, or into MP3s via the Embed Lyrics MP3 tool.

Tagger cross-check

See exactly which of the two lyric fields your desktop tagger actually wrote, when a player is showing the wrong one.
